We'll be attending the Manchester Fertility Show, being held from 24 - 25 March 2018 at the Manchester Central Convention Complex. The two day event brings together fertility experts, clinics and organisations, and features an extensive seminar programme.

The HFEA has today launched its first-ever “state of the sector” report, providing an overview of the UK’s fertility sector, including the success in reducing multiple birth rates to just over 10% of all IVF births.

Progress Educational Trust (PET) are holding their annual conference, entitled 'Crossing Frontiers: Moving the boundaries of Human Reproduction' on Friday December 8 at Amnesty International in Central London.

Recently, we have been proven as a provider of reliable, high quality information on fertility treatment having achieved certification by The Information Standard, a health and care certification programme supported by NHS England.

If you are having or have had fertility treatment you may have been offered add ons which aim to increase the success rate of your treatment. This survey is designed to find out what patients think about these add ons, how they should be offered by clinics and what information patients needs and how much they should expect to pay.

The independent expert panel convened by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to undertake a review of mitochondrial donation techniques, has today recommended that those techniques be approved for “cautious” use in “specific circumstances”.

2015 news and press releases

Today the UK becomes the first country to license ground breaking mitochondrial donation techniques which will allow women who carry the risk of serious mitochondrial disease to avoid passing it onto their children.

These hearings have no doubt been very stressful for the families involved and today’s judgment is clearly welcome news for them. They rightly assumed that legal parenthood was beyond doubt; finding out that it was not must have been very upsetting.

The House of Lords has today approved regulations that will permit techniques designed to eradicate the transmission of serious mitochondrial disease from mother to child. This completes the process of parliamentary approval and the regulations will come into force from 29 October this year.
